Number plate website catches bad drivers

UK drivers should be aware because a number plate reporting website is being used by the police to track them down through the number plate that has been added to the site by other drivers who have seen them driving badly.

The website is called betterdrivingplease.com and has come about because of the drivers who are

constantly getting away with bad driving; this can be anything from using a mobile phone while driving, having an illegal number plate or speeding through residential areas.

Andrew McGavin, founder of the website, said: "Thames Valley Police (TVP) should sit up and take notice of its findings."

He said: 'It's now the norm to see dangerous driving on every journey you make. The message isn't getting through to drivers and the police aren't catching enough people."

'That's what makes a database like this necessary."

'The more reports there are on the site the more powerful a weapon it becomes against the small minority of stupid drivers who make it dangerous for the rest of us on the roads.'

He said: 'Our website is like a pressure cooker. I believe that the police will have to take something like this on board.'

A spokesperson from the Thames Valley Police, said: 'Betterdrivingplease.com is a national website which gives people the opportunity to report instances of what they believe to be bad driving."

'However, these reports do not usually contain the evidence necessary to prosecute.'

This is not the only website that has appeared in the UK recently, but it does show one thing that people are willing to grass up other drivers, simply because they only need the number plate to do so.
